Free agency: While pitching is going to be where the bulk of my free-agent dollars are earmarked, I’m maintaining contact with a couple of free agents. I’ll talk with Scott Boras about Michael Bourn, but I expect him to command the second-highest deal among position players on the market behind Hamilton

According to sources close to the team, the Brewers are considering making a major run at Hamilton this winter.

Per Heyman's report:

The Brewers believe Milwaukee is a viable market for Hamilton, and it doesn't hurt that their hitting coach is Johnny Narron, who is very close to Hamilton from their days together in Cincinnati and Texas. Narron was Hamilton's original "life coach'' with the Reds and Rangers. In Texas he generally thrived and is credited for having only two relapses.

With Narron already on the staff and Braun in the lineup, the Brewers would appear to be a perfect fit for Hamilton. But with a host of teams likely to be in for Hamilton's services, the Brewers, who are a mid-market team, would have to splash the cash for the MVP.
